Home to the Clarkson (and now the state's) honey festival for the past twenty years, as well as to a leading national and international beekeeping supplier--Kelley Beekeeping Company, for the past fifty years, Clarkson's city commission enthusiastically voted to accept the responsibilities of being a certified Bee City USA on March 9.

We look forward to what Clarkson's leaders and citizens will do next to improve pollinator habitat and raise awareness about the importance of pollinators.
